You make $1,500 off how many apps? How many installs. Free apps or paid?

Also, could someone comment on what's required to get started? I know there's a $25 dev fee, and I've read all the help text on the publish site.

What do most devs do for a website to link to in the market? Does Google offer anything? Use Go Daddy? What?

What do you use to create the graphics required for the market?

Other tips?

About 15 apps. All paid.

You need to know how to make apps lol.

You need to make your own website ( not needed though)

Use photoshop.
[Android Software Development] freekyfrogy:
Yeah I'm just getting into app development as well. I've currently got an ADWTheme out on the market for $0.99, and I make ~$0.69 per sale. There is really a ton of potential for profit if you get into individual app development as long as you can make stuff that people want. When I first released my theme I was making ~$10 a day off of it. after a month or so it's died down to ~$2.5 - $5 daily, but another factor is that I haven't updated it in a while haha. If you can manage to keep all of your apps up-to-date and appealing, you will do well.

If you are really interested in developing applications for android I would recommended watching these videos: http://marakana.com/techtv/android_bootcamp_screencast_series.html They've seriously helped me out a LOT getting off the ground :)
[Android Software Development] generalamerica:
I would recommend Adobe Illustrator more than Photoshop for making graphics, at least it's what I prefer.
[Android Software Development] Rootstonian:
1. Make it look pretty

2. Make it fart

Yeah, nice :) LOL. Hey, if it sells, it sells. Wish I could write an app that sells thousands :)

I'm only a few months into development though, so it's "learn something new everyday" process. As the coding skills build, so will the quality of the apps....and hopefully sales.

Applications based on RFID concept?

Please allow me to ask if how much will it take for a developer on a full time basis to create an application that would run on both android and windows mobile.

This will be for a RFID concept
[Android Software Development] Newklearx3:
I don't know about window mobile but check out corona SDK for developing.
[Android Software Development] atr0phy:
Don't know why it's so difficult to answer a simple question.

70% goes to the developer, the remaining 30% is distributed to the cell carrier (if the carrier is authorized to receive fees for apps purchased on the market.)

Wikipedia explains it in such a way that even the most simple minded of folk can understand. It sounds like a few of you should read up on that, as opposed to providing vague, meaningless "answers".
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jivemaster:
Hi Guys,

I have done a lot of reading/searching in the Nexus One sections here on xda over the last few hours and haven't been able to find a solid answer to this question, so I thought I should ask before I attempt doing something which could end up screwing my phone.

I am currently running a rooted stock version of 2.2.1 with HBOOT version 0.33 (details above) and I am looking to upgrade to one of the stock rooted 2.3.3 rom's now available since the GRI40 ota release.

I would like to retain my locked bootloader. (I know some people will find this stupid but I like to keep my phones as like-new as possible.)

I understand that 2.3.3 requires HBOOT 0.35.

For some reason I am having difficulties overcoming the first hurdle of upgrading my HBOOT from 0.33 to 0.35. I believe because my bootloader is locked, fastboot commands are out of the question.

I have attempted to flash the signed google HBOOT update from here in Amon-RA 2.2.1.

After attempting to flash this zip, Amon-RA says:

Obviously the package has failed the signature check, which I find odd because it has come directly from google.

This initially made me question the downloaded file's validity but I have re-downloaded the file a number of times and all have the same md5 hash:

With the above in mind I have a couple of questions:

1. Should I be attempting to flash the HBOOT 0.35 update in Amon-RA with sig verification off in order to force the update through? Or should I be using clockwork for this. (I prefer Amon).

2. Is there an alternative to the above method in order to upgrade the HBOOT?

3. Will upgrading the HBOOT do anything to my custom recovery or current root access? (I'm aware I'll have to flash a 2.3.3 with root in order to have su access.)

I'd be very thankful for any assistance/advice.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
1. yes

2. no

3. no
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jivemaster:
Thanks for the reply Jack_R1. I turned off sig verification and all flashed well. I'm just a paranoid bastard.
[G Tablet General] Bad@ssGtab:
I guess I've been fortunate I have never had all the issues with system dumps and force closings some others have had the misfortune to experience. My Tab has been rock steady for months.

I have been good about cleaning everything up before installing new ROMs.

Today that all changes. Tab went completely discharged and after hooking back up to the charger, it now loads into forced closings on every app and launcher.

I can see all my apps in the main dir and under apps settings, but none will run and the Tab is in a constant cycle of force closing.

I think it had something to do with letting the Tab run completely dead?

I know I can wipe all the data and repartition to correct, but damn I have a ton of user data and apps on this baby and if there was a way to correct this problem, Ie replace a file, that would be a much better solution.

So if anyone has had the same situation with constant force closings, let me know if you figured out a way to correct without starting from scratch.

Thanks, Bad@ssGtag...
[G Tablet General] Neoprimal:
What ROM are you using or is this on stock?

Have you attempted clearing cache and dalvik using CWM?

The ONLY thing I can really think of optimistically speaking is that the force closings are somehow caused because your SD card may not be loading/loaded properly - ie: maybe theres a file system error or something? Apps that load from it or depend on files loaded/loading on it would FC, of course the fact that you say nothing can run may indicate a more dire problem....

The worse case scenario is that the flash drive inside has been corrupted somehow - but I highly doubt that. I've seen other people report constant FCing before, so your problem, if not the SD issue, is probably somewhere in the middle - where your file system got messed up somehow but no hardware is damaged.

I've had mine discharge on me many times with no issues whatsoever.
[G Tablet General] Bad@ssGtab:
I tired a few of these already, but I haven't tried pulling the SD card. Thanks!
[Galaxy 3 General] abhijeet.pathak:
I have Froyo (motafoca's custom rom) installed on Galaxy 3 (I5801).

In Settings > About Phone following information is shown:

Baseband version: I5800xxJP4

Build Noumber: FROYO.XXJPF

What is the difference between both of these things?

Can Baseband Version be upgraded?
[Galaxy 3 General] anly11:
Baseband version means Radio version in the phone
[Galaxy 3 General] abhijeet.pathak:
So is it possible to update it?

When we update the ROM, or when we install a custom ROM, does this baseband version get updated?
[Galaxy 3 General] anly11:
baseband should updated if you will flash image in PHONE part in odin. if you are flashing custom rom then you do not flash this part. you flash PDA only. so radio and bootloader you usually dont flash.

flashing radio is allegedly only thing that can brick your phone.

in our galaxy 3 jpf rom we have baseband version I5800XXJP4. i think this is newest version. if not, somebody can correct me.
[Galaxy 3 General] Kaleptik:
Its the bootloader that can brick your phone. Not the radio.

[Galaxy 3 General] Giosiken:
But the changes in baseband version would improve/decrease radio preformance? what will happen if you replace new baseband version with an old one?

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KLoNe1:
One thing that always bugged me with the SGS is that, with the help of Supercurio & hardcore, we got the use of some beautiful sounding earphone output but the speaker output was very poor.

Also, why always only one speaker? The SGWifi now has stereo speakers which should make them sound much better and the iPhone4 has them, but my question is: Does the SGS2 have dual speakers?

The only picture I've seen on the back has ONE speaker on the lower side but I can't see the other side.

Many thanks.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rwj5279955:
The product page on At&t states the captivated had dual speakers. Shrug
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] madpete:
I remember reading somewhere that it has dual speakers.....

Problem is I cant remember where I read it now.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silverwolf0:
I would think one speaker is the norm, especially on super-thin smartphones. The stereo speakers on my Nokia 6233 five years ago were awesome.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clouds5:
Dont forget you phone aint no ghettoblaster!

It wont sound good no matter how many or what kind of speakers you put in there... At least to someone who has sensible ears. It should be loud enough so it wakes you up in the morning and so you hear when someone sent you an sms/calls you.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PartyMango:
The only use of dual speakers is to annoy other people in a public settings - I'd rather have a thinner/lighter/cheaper smartphone than such a useless feature.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MoonRaven:
I really HATE people who use phone speakers in public transportation. If I wanted to hear their music I would put it on my phone :) Only feature it is good for is for your notification sound/ringtone or in private situations.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AJerman:
Don't forget that what you want or don't want doesn't always apply to what other people want or don't want. I would love to see dual speakers to get a little more clarity and a little more volume. There are several times that I've used my phone to play music in a group setting because, while the speaker isn't the best, it's the best we had. For example, Tuesday nights are poker night. I'll probably throw my phone on Pandora just to play some background music.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
my old HTC had dual speaker, and it delivered real stereo instead of monofied stereo on the standard single speakers phones :p

[HTC Aria General] Mauchais:
A week or so ago, I flashed "CyanogenMod-7.0.0-RC1-Liberty" from Rom Manager.

Ever since then, I've been having some issues when installing apps from the Market. Sometimes, installation will fail, giving me the message "Insufficient Storage Space". I checked my settings, and I have quite a bit of space left.

Has this been an issue for anyone else, and does anybody have a solution?
[HTC Aria General] tommyguns818:
I wouldn't use rom manger at all. Doesn't sometimes work with the aria. Flash rom using your Clockwork recovery. That's a much trusted way.
[HTC Aria General] Mauchais:
Oh, really?

I guess I've been doing it wrong all along.

So should I reflash manually?
[HTC Aria General] L551:
Yes, I would wipe and reflash from clockwork. Get to it by holding the down volume button while turning on the phone and selecting recovery.

Sent from my Aria - CM7 Build 2-5
[HTC Aria General] Mauchais:
Thanks.

And by "wipe" do you include wiping the delvik cache?
[HTC Aria General] matt_b:
do the wipe data/factory reset in clockwork, then in advanced, wipe dalvik cache.

wiping the cache isn't always required, but it won't hurt you.

Any one here has a problem with the touch screen when playing some fps games of Gameloft like Sandstorm, Nova, Bia2 ... ?
[Milestone 2 General] looceci:
No such problems
[Milestone 2 General] obrayn:
Im having some multitouch issues @gunbros havent tried any other multitouch games.
[Milestone 2 General] nopain9nogain:
I think there is problem with Milestone 2's multitouch. I'm not sure this is a hardwares or softwares issue.
[Milestone 2 General] AragornPE:
Hi. Are you playing with the charger connected? Capacitive screens are very sensible to leakage currents. If there is some ghost touch happening, it's the charger's fault. The original charger doesn't have this problem, but if you are using a generic charger or usb cable connected to your pc/laptop, there might be some leakage current.
[Milestone 2 General] Zuljin:
Maybe your issue is connected with limitation of Milestone 2. It supports only 2 fingers tracking. Maybe your are using more of them during play and some of them are not tracked correctly.
[Milestone 2 General] j0yb0i:
I experienced the ghost touch with my original charger as well...
[Milestone 2 General] Liori:
Sorry if it's a little bit side-tracking.

Do you guys experience lags when sliding through the menu (notification bar, contacts, etc.)? I mean the sliding is smooth but it is not synchronizing with my finger. It lags for like 0.5 sec until it scrolls to the place it's supposed to be.

If you own a DEFY and do a direct comparison you'll know what I mean.
[Milestone 2 General] crazyteknohed:
I have the exact same problem with my Milestone 2 and it's bloody annoying.

I wish that Gameloft added the ability to assign hard keys; using the keyboard for directions and the camera button to fire would not only eliminate the problem but make the game much easier to play.
[Milestone 2 General] agent008my:
havent really had any problems with game loft. but i experienced tonnes of touch screen issues after installing the game 'Words'. as soon as i removed it, ive not had any touchscreen issues, including ghost touch.
[Milestone 2 General] frenetico:
I haven't got any issues with the touch up to now. Even playing with a connected (original) charger doesn't cause any problems.
[Milestone 2 General] crazyteknohed:
That's annoying TBH. At least if everyone was having these problems there is a chance that Motorola would acknowledge and address the problem, but as it seems like an unlucky handful of people having this issue, I doubt it would be rectified. I'm reluctant to send my phone in for repair as I've got a feeling I'll just get it back with the same fault.
[Milestone 2 General] cmxyz:
the games need multitouch wouldn't run well . i assuming that one finger can obstruct another
[Milestone 2 General] crazyteknohed:
I've fixed it! At least, it seems to be fixed :)

I read a few times of people disconnecting their batteries (!) and that seemed to fix the issue. I tried it myself, leaving the battery out for an hour or so, and it didn't rectify it. So in desperation I tried leaving the battery out overnight. I played NOVA this morning and it seems just fine. Still gets a little confused but nowhere near as frustrating to play as it was before.

I hope this trick works for you guys.

Oh, by the way, before I did this I downloaded Simply Draw to check if the digitiser was faulty and it worked perfectly, so I knew that wasn't the problem. Anyone who has seen the Youtube video about the dodgy Milestone 2 touchscreen will know what I'm on about.
[Milestone 2 General] erp2010x:

Oh, connected to the charger a lot of people experience severe problems with the touchscreen. Mine is absolutely not usable to surf through the web while the phone is plugged in...
[Milestone 2 General] mkmck:
Guys, if you have such a problem, try the USB extension cable. I am using this 1,2m long cable and I have no problem with touch screen when phone's charging :D And Idon't know why...
[Milestone 2 General] rasecrmz:
I have problems playing games on the M2. It seems that is the "intended" behaviour on the multitouch. For example, try PES11. Sometimes it seems that the touch screen gets "confused" and messes with the touch points. Also, check this:

[Milestone 2 General] mkmck:
Milestone has a buggy MT unfortunately. Download Multi touch paint or touch test or sthg like that and:

- touch and slide the screen with 1st finger (don't releas), slide the screen with 2nd finger.

- releas the 1st finger and touch the screen again (still holding the 2nd one)

- watch results
[Milestone 2 General] Liori:
I noticed this bug recently, while I don't observe the same result in DEFY, which also provides a faster response touch screen. I wonder if Motorola is going to fix this in future updates (if any).
[Milestone 2 General] mkmck:
That's so fckn annoying... Flipout also hasn't this bug and the touch screen works more accurate...
[Milestone 2 General] Liori:
Do Motorola know this bug? Even so I think they are reluctant to fix it. Btw do Droid 2 users experience the same thing?
[Milestone 2 General] mkmck:
I've allready record it. Today or tomorrow I am going to upload it on YT and send them...
[Milestone 2 General] rasecrmz:
Great Idea!.

This issue is something Motorola must fix with an upgrade. But knowing how they handle the upgrades i have my doubts if we will see any upgrade on the Milestone 2. Time will tell.

That video tells exactly what the problem is. How could I play game with that? Now using a captivate and have no problem with it. The reason I bought it instead of a captivate just because it has a keyboard and that was the big mistake. I can't believe I spend 500 bucks for a phone like Ms2. Im never buying any Motor phone again.

Amon_ra recovery if you are able to flash a alternative recovery with Unrevoked or fastboot (maybe fake flash as well) or Gparted in a virtual machine or bootable usb.

Easeus does a decent job if you don't want to burn anything. Only goes up to ext3 though. Gparted is the best option as TheGhost1233 said.
